AM:(hilly 8+, 1:10:32). It was super duper hot. Yesterday I brushed up against a prickly pear cactus on the trail. I have a 3-4 inch area on my thigh that looks like a big rash (it isn't it is that there are tiny spines ebedded in my skin) -- the worst though, was that I got a huge spine stuck in the side of my thumb, and I did not know, and when I brushed my hand against it yesterday it stuck it way down inside and then broke off the top ... now it is all infected and really hurts. I hope it comes out soon ... Close by, I saw these guys out spraying stuff on the side of the road yesterday - I asked what they were doing and they pointed out this tall green grass - they said they were just neighbors and were killing the grass that is growing and is not indiginous to the area (it kills all the native species). So, I jokingly said, "I guess you can tell what belongs here by how dangerous it looks" (this was nice smooth green grass, not brown, dry and prickly). PM: (4 miles easy). I hope you have a great day bloggers!
